4 1. Purpose 1.1 This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) supports the Police Service of Scotland (hereinafter referred to as Police Scotland ) Specialist Operations Policy. 1.2 The purpose of this SOP is to provide an overview of the Police Scotland Air Support Unit (ASU) and the rules which govern police air operations. In addition this document provides general guidance on: Tasking of the aircraft (both spontaneous and pre-planned); Operational capabilities and limitations; Deployment to simultaneous competing incidents. 2. Introduction 2.1 The ASU forms part of the Police Scotland, Operational Support Division (OSD), Specialist Operations. The Unit is located at: Clyde Heliport, 16 Linthouse Road, Glasgow, G51 4BZ. 2.2 The ASU operates in terms of a Police Air Operator s Certificate (PAOC) in accordance with Civil Aviation legislation. The Police Air Operations Manual (PAOM) Part 1 - Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 612, is a joint Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) / Home Office policy for the conduct of police air operations (as required by Air Navigation Order 2009). It is intended to ensure and legislate for a safe and effective national standard of operation in accordance with the PAOC. The PAOM further specifies certain easements allowing police aircraft to fly in a manner that other aircraft are prohibited from doing. 2.3 Police Scotland have contracted the supply of aircraft, pilots and engineering support to a commercial supplier who is the holder of a PAOC, issued by the CAA (Air Navigation Order 2009 refers). 3. Function 3.1 The primary function of the police air support unit is: To provide air support to operational officers and specialist departments; and To preserve life. 4. Staff 4.1 The ASU is currently staffed by an Inspector, Sergeant and six Constables and is managed daily by the Unit Executive Officer (UEO) who will be of Version
5 supervisory rank and have attended Home Office/CAA training. In the UEO s absence the Deputy Unit Executive Officer (DUEO), who will have similar training, will assume responsibility. Both of these roles have specific responsibilities as laid down in the PAOM. 4.2 The aircraft is crewed by a pilot, employed by a contracted service provider, and two trained Police Air Observers. 4.3 Relief cover is supplied from a pool of trained and experienced Air Observers. 5. Tasks Performed by the Air Support Unit 5.1 The following list details the main tasks that will be carried out by the ASU. It is not exhaustive and officers should not hesitate to contact the duty crew for advice on any potential task: Search: missing persons, wanted or suspect persons, vehicles, and stolen plant or equipment. Firearms Incidents: provides an overview of the incident to commanders on the ground. Downlink can provide live feed video to both tactical and operational commanders depending on location. Vehicle Pursuits: deployed as a command and control platform and to record evidential footage. Can be used as a safe follow. Rapid Transport: to convey small numbers of staff and equipment, as a matter of urgency, to an incident where their attendance is necessary and time critical for the protection of life or preservation of evidence, there being no other viable means of getting personnel or equipment to the scene within required timescales. Major Incidents: Events - airborne command and control platform as well as down-linking real-time footage to strategic, tactical and operational commanders. Aerial Photography: for evidential or planning purposes for future operations or events. Covert tasks will be carried out in accordance with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Scotland) Act 2000 (RIP(S)A). Requests for photographs should be made directly to the Air Support Unit. Aerial Surveillance: utilising the Forward Looking Infra-Red (FLIRthermal imaging) / Digital camera. All tasks will be carried out in accordance with the RIP(S)A. Any requirement for surveillance should be discussed with officers of the unit who can offer advice regarding tactics and capability. Casevac: to provide immediate assistance to sick or injured persons in life-threatening circumstances, where immediate or rapid transport is essential. This task will only be undertaken as a measure of last resort when no other means of transport is available. Version
6 6. Aircraft Capabilities and Limitations 6.1 Weather Restrictions The suitability of the weather for a particular task will vary depending on terrain and geographical location, and the decision as to whether to accept or decline a task on meteorological grounds will be taken by the pilot. Their decision is final and will not be countermanded Legislation restricts the helicopter to operating with a minimum of 1 km horizontal visibility and a minimum cloud base of 300 feet by day, increasing to 5 km and 500 feet at night Potential requests should not be based on flying conditions assumptions, as advice will be given via the aircrew in respect of any deployment request. 6.2 Operational Considerations The aircraft will generally operate with a pilot and two police air observers. Under normal circumstances, it can remain airborne for a maximum of one and a half hours, although factors may exist that will reduce or increase this The aircraft has the capability to operate anywhere in Scotland. When any request is received for the services of the ASU, consideration will be given to weather conditions between the base and the operating area, flying time to locus, and the nature of the task. To support the aircraft s range, endurance and time on scene, refuelling facilities exist at various locations across the country Passengers may be carried under certain circumstances (i.e. rapid transport) but such persons are strictly controlled under legislation. Any person, who may compromise the safety of the aircraft, including a person in police custody, shall not be carried in the aircraft. The final decision regarding the carriage of passengers will rest with the pilot. 7. Aircraft Equipment 7.1 The aircraft is fitted with the following role equipment: FLIR Camera: Daylight and infra-red imaging camera linked to a digital recorder. DVFAR II Digital Recorder: Records images from the aircraft FLIR camera direct to a memory card. This also allows the crew to review footage whilst airborne. Version
7 Digital Downlink: Transmits real-time images from the aircraft camera in an encrypted format which can be received at Service Overview, Helen Street and HA, HB and HC area control rooms which service G, K, L, Q and U Divisions. Area control rooms out with this area can, with prior notice, utilise one of four portable receivers which can also be set up at the scene of an event. Trakkabeam: Powerful search light which provides illumination from air to ground and can be utilised as a directional tool during operational police incidents. Skyshout : A public address system which can be used to relay messages from up to 800 feet. Stretcher Fit : The aircraft can be quickly reconfigured to carry a stretcher to assist in casualty evacuation. The stretcher is not routinely carried on the aircraft. Night Vision Goggles: The crew and pilot use night-vision goggles to assist with night operations in rural areas. Digital Cameras: The crew take still images for a variety of tasks including evidential and planning and carry Nikon D80 cameras with various lenses. A secure CD burner is also carried allowing a disc to be burned of the images whilst at the scene. Tracker : The aircraft is fitted with a Tracker stolen vehicle tracking system which is integrated within the aircraft Skyforce moving map system. Water Rescue Device: The aircraft has a small rescue device which can be thrown from the aircraft by the observer towards a casualty or person in the water. The device inflates into a buoyancy aid to assist the person in the water. 8.

The Duty Officer s decision is final. 9.5 Advice to Officers Requesting Air Support The primary purpose of the aircraft is to provide support to operational officers in the investigation of crime and the management of incidents. To that end the assistance of the ASU may be requested by any police officer Before attending any incident the on duty crew will apply the following test: 1. Is it Legal? i.e. Are RIP(S)A authorities in place, is visibility and cloud base within the parameters set by the CAA? 2. Is it Safe? i.e. Can the aircraft safely enter the area, land, carry out the requested task? Weather will also be a consideration. 3. Is the Aircraft Likely to Enhance the Police Operation? It should be appreciated that due to the risks involved in flying, the cost of operating the aircraft and the experience required in judging whether the aircraft can have a positive impact on any particular incident, the final decision on whether to attend an incident will be made by the duty aircrew Enquiries relating to the operational deployment of the aircraft should be made directly with the aircrew who will give suitable advice. 10. Training 10.1 All Police Officers working within the ASU are required to complete a one week selection course and thereafter a four-week Police Air Observers Course. Courses are based at the City Heliport in Glasgow and are conducted by the Unit s UEO (Inspector) and Training Officer, assisted by the duty crews and pilots A high standard of communication skills and a broad range of operational policing experience is essential. However, no formal qualifications are required to train as a Police Air Observer The selection week consists of basic navigational tasks and use of role equipment and is designed to assess the individual s suitability for further training and also the suitability of the individual for flying in what can sometimes be very challenging conditions. Version
